El performance como medio expresivo de representacion artistica sobre el femicidio en ecuador

Abstract

This thesis considers the field of male violence against women as the main subject of its study. This seems to be a common problem in our active society. To illustrate this we will be using drawings and interpretation to create sketches and scenographies where we intend to represent this problem. Finally, we will be executing a performance in order to help society to create a necessary impact. According to historical background, femicide is an issue that arises around the world and it is evolving. Art is considered a tool which embarks sociology along with multiple factors. It ranges from a critical social point as the creation of artistic products, being thus, a discipline of great importance that goes through various of them. ‘Performance’, as it is called, is an artistic action that goes together with the avant-garde where several interdisciplines are applied such as: music, dance, theater and plastic arts. Therefore, it shows an enriching source of creation for documentaries in closed and open spaces. This problematic situation is a fragment of our society that needs to be solved. Through art we seek in an analogical way to encourage people to face the foreseeable consequences of it as well as to promote change. It is understandable that not all human beings may modify the way they think or act, though, we look forward to stopping this. This research presents different artists who are directly related to this art movement taking as examples of inspiration to have an idealization of the development of our artistic proposal carrying out a deep investigation conducive to our play. The overarching aim of this project is to do a performance that portrays femicide, achieved through comprehensive research to shed light on the gravity of this interest in our society. In the production phase, we created multiple sketches to shape our proposal. We meticulously planned every aspect, including the location, required personnel, settings, and scenarios well before the final version. Within this preparation, we were fully equipped to address any troubles that emerged during the final editing process. To conclude, this proposition documents several key contributions made. By means of our endeavors, we successfully heightened consciousness in our community. These violent acts are affecting everyone at home, especially women who are having such a hard time living with the aggressor. Frequently, these kinds of issues remain unspoken due to fear, which is why the situation has become extremely challenging. Hence, society is either accustomed to it or unprepared to confront this concern. The essence of the performance revolves around the act of influencing and making individuals realize that these are not ordinary situations or typical aspects of marriage, but rather grave issues that extend beyond mere physical concerns.
